For private GPA, CPU refers a private page table whose contents are
encrypted. The dedicated APIs to operate on it (e.g. updating/reading its
PTE entry) are used and their cost is expensive.
When KVM resolves KVM page fault, it walks the page tables. To reuse the
existing KVM MMU code and mitigate the heavy cost to directly walk private
page table, allocate one more page to copy the dummy page table for KVM MMU
code to directly walk. Resolve KVM page fault with the existing code, and
do additional operations necessary for the private page table. To
distinguish such cases, the existing KVM page table is called a shared page
table (i.e. not associated with private page table), and the page table
with private page table is called a private page table. The relationship
is depicted below.
Add a private pointer to struct kvm_mmu_page for private page table and
add helper functions to allocate/initialize/free a private page table
page.

PT: page table
- Shared PT is visible to KVM and it is used by CPU.
- Private PT is used by CPU but it is invisible to KVM.
- Dummy PT is visible to KVM but not used by CPU. It is used to
propagate PT change to the actual private PT which is used by CPU.
Nit: one typo below.
